Game description

Something for creative hours. In preparation for this game you need to get a lot of nails, colourful yarn and some wooden boards. Now, from a template you draw a pattern on the board. Let’s say the outline of a star. Next, you put nails on this outline in roughly the same distance. Now you can get creative. Select the colour of your yarn and then attach this to the first nail. From there wrap it around another nail and so on until you have all nails covered. The more colourful your image, the greater it will look at the end. If you want, you can, of course, paint the board as well. That is best done before you even draw your favourite shape on it. This image will make a wonderful present for Christmas or Mother’s Day. For this occasion, you might choose a heart shape. Every mother would be happy with such a present. It will look wonderful if hung up on the wall. If you are working with young kids, they might need quite some help. But they will definitely be able to wrap the thread around the nails.
